Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (40.0%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by BD at 30.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $20,254 and has fallen 64.5% since, to $7,200 in 2023. Among anatomic pathology clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
